Guess Who Thinks Vaccines Are Connected to Mass Shootings?

A recent discussion on an anti-vaccine Facebook group asking if there was a connection between vaccines and mass shootings got nearly 1000 comments.

What’s the overall consensus of the group?

Of course they do!

“NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is deeply saddened by the tragic events that occurred over the weekend in Texas and Ohio. These mass shootings are far too common and impact every corner of our nation. Every time we experience a tragedy like this, people with mental illness are drawn into the conversation. The truth is that the vast majority of violence is not perpetrated by people with mental illness. Statements to the contrary only serve to perpetuate stigma and distract from the real issues.

NAMI sees gun violence as a national public health crisis that impacts everyone.”

Even Larry Cook, the groups founder, has his own secret theory about how vaccines are associated with mass shootings. My guess is that his conspiracy theory involves nanobots…

The stupidity. It burns. The animal DNA they talk about…. they better be strict vegans because there is DNA in beef, chicken, pork, seafood abd so on. Then again, if they’re so worried about that nasty DNA, they probably shouldn’t eat or breathe or get into the water etc. And the one who wrote the comment about monkey kidneys or hearts can’t be bothered to do any reasearch. And exactly what are “monkey kidneys vaccinations”?
